March 26 March for Alternative - LIVE INFO SHARE

Saw none of you shites! had a grand old amble to trafalgar square before mass of numbers and time limits thereof turned me back. Saw some ace displays of silliness and some epic selling of papers.

Enterprising london hawkers had set up whistle stands etc- they never miss a trick.

A good day out in all, the Man was shown and I met an inveterate trotskyist who told me a lot about shoe labour unions and the like in my area. History comrades!

knackered now though. Unison were out in force!
 
On the plus side, my placard will be in the museum of london next week for a display :cool:

Enjoyed the march today. Didn't get involved in any direct action but cudos to those that did. I hope UK Uncut see a surge of support in the upcoming months.

Robin Ince and Jimbob (carterusm) posting bollocks on twitter about how idiots being stupid on the march might as well be government stooges & watching the violence on tv/it being hijacked by fucking extremists is depressing :(:mad:

Without even any of their trademark puns?
 
I got a bit sidetracked myself- the numbers were huge- I was on a mission to get past everyone with polite 'excuse mes' till some woman said 'You can do this all day and you won't get to the front mate'

which was true
 
Fortnum and Mason's described as a 'crime scene' with every protester hand-cuffed and arrested?

A stunt like that was always going to happen at trophy location. Just spoke to some mates who got back by train to Manchester who said the turnout and atmosphere on the march was really inspiring ( they thought despite that Milliband got what could be called at best a polite reception) and reckon that if everyone who went down feel the same that workplaces and community groups will feel more confident and the whole thing could be galvanised.

The thing is now is to call some more national/regional action and scope where there could be tangible resistance locally .
 
So what did we have today. 250000 people marching (to take an average of the figures reported) and what did we do? Threw some paint at Top Man, broke a window at the Ritz and set fire to some rubbish at Picadilly Circus. All the while egged on by the massive that couldnt be arsed to turn up via twitter, facebook and this very site.

We used to be an empire. FFS.

And no, this isnt a troll. It embarrasses me that the BEST we can do is a wholly inarticulate and uncoordinated wobble. Even Libya can do better, at leat they are driven by proper passion - we are just driven by "meh, there's not much else on today - so lets go to London and follow some people around aimlessley".

If you wanted to fuck up London, hire 6 transit vans. At a prescribed time, get them all to park up sideways on the road lock the vans and drop the keys down the nearest drain. - outside the Angel tube, on the roundabout by Grosvenor Road/Park Lane, at Haymarket, at Victora, at the Blackwall tunnel and at the massive roundabout/one way system at Hammersmith. Then set off flares at Picadilly, Kings Cross, Victoria and Embankment undergrounds.

Voila, traffic gridlock, no trains, no busses no nothing. And it took a max of 15 of you.

Fucking amateurs. These kids will be in charge of putting us into homes in 20 years. I am more afraid of that than the cunts in charge at the moment. At least with them I have (something of) a choice.

Flame me.
 
also a FULL COLOUR edition of the socialist was mine for the princely sum of a pound. Cover price 70p but 'I don't carry change mate' I bet you don't, in pocket, paper or heart *shakes fist*

Morning star was on the ground for free :cool:

I think I love you
 
Just got back to the sea side. Went on the march with partner and kids, who enjoyed themselves. Then I headed off solo to Oxford St and then to Picadilly; the former was quiet but the later was very good value (especially F&M and Lloyds). Well done to those involved and good luck to those who are still out and about.

Cheers and more of the same please - Louis MacNeice
